Creative Learning and Teaching Activities in a School-Based Program Promoting Adolescent Health
Background:
Designing educational activities that engage health profession students' interest in community-based learning is challenging. University faculty channeled concerns about regional trends in cardiovascular disease among adolescents into activities that linked students' foundational knowledge to critical application experiences.
Method:
Between 2013 and 2017, university faculty partnered with a local health system and a public high school to develop a sustainable health promotion plan for the school. The university component involved activities that students implemented as part of their community clinical experiences.
Results:
Participant results and feedback were overwhelmingly positive and affirmed that linking learning to real-world concerns made preventive health care concepts interesting and easier to grasp.
Conclusion:
Educational activities that involve neighboring stakeholders is a creative and meaningful way to provide engaging learning experiences for future health professionals while contributing to authentic solutions within a community-based partnership. [J Nurs Educ. 2019;58(8):485-487.].
